Hey everyone,
This semester has gone by so fast....It's astonishing to think that I have under two weeks left of school for this year. It has been a great freshman year and I hope the years following are just as great!
This Comp 2 project has been a blast for me. I feel like I have learned an incredible amount of information regarding biofuels and their production. The artifacts were an awesome alternative to the (in my opinion) boring research paper. Lots of these artifacts allowed us to show our creativity, while being educational as well. All that remains for me to do is to finish my portfolio and present it to the class on the day of the final.
I appreciate all the help my group and Ms. Lieske have given me, I'm sure my projects wouldn't have turned out as good if it weren't for this help. I hope all of you have a successful week of finals, and have a great summer too!

Blog Assignment #11: Bringing it all together
Hey everyone,
Halfway through artifact 2, I started to think about how I am going to tie all of my artifacts together. I thought about what my first two artifacts represent, then I had to think about what would complete the cycle, so to speak. My first artifact represented the current biofuels, or think of it as Point A. My second artifact represented the future of biofuels, aka Point C. So I thought the logical thing for my third artifact to be would be to explain how we get from the current biofuels to the future, this would be the Point B.
It also got me thinking, how would I present all of this? I got to thinking, my presentations would work like an actual biofuel seminar or presentation in front of an audience. I came up with the idea that my artifacts together would all be a part of a realistic biofuel seminar titled "Biofuels: Today and Tomorrow". Then it hit me, my third artifact could bring the two presentations together, while being take-home materials that you would get from an actual seminar. My final presentation will follow the seminar format, I will briefly go through my two presentations, then distribute my brochures at the end.
For my portfolio, I plan on creating it digitally. The two presentations best fit the digital format, and the brochure can be easily presented in either digital or print easily. All-in-all, I am feeling confident at where I am in this point in class, and I hope that my ideas will be as good as I think they will be.
I hope everyone had a great weekend,
Matt
